And we have a duty to enforce the law.

I think the American people are with us on that.

We just stay the course.

No, that's exactly right.

And those arrested, those arrested, you've got to go through the entirety and say, look, it's a cultural thing.

If the governor of Minnesota and the mayor of Minneapolis simply said, we will cooperate.

With federal law enforcement, we will share those people that are in jail, that have been convicted, that have been arrested.

And we will share that information to identify the people that must be removed under our laws, including those under court order to be removed.

Again, Glenn, we don't have a nation.

We don't have sovereignty if this isn't something we can easily agree to.

And if we can't agree to that, then I've got to start thinking about whether it is even possible to be in unity with people who don't believe we should be a sovereign nation.

It means that I don't know how you coexist with a governor of another state who refuses to enforce the law and says that he has the right to put dangerous people on the streets of Minneapolis or Minnesota who can get in their car on I-35 from Minneapolis and be to Dallas or Austin, Texas within the day.

Somebody tell me how that works.

It doesn't.

You either enforce the laws under our Constitution, where the Constitution gives direct authority, not all this mindless nonsense that these guys typically do, right, where they use the federal government, they use the Constitution to say the federal government can do whatever it wants, whatever program, whatever spending, which, by the way, is not true.

But the Constitution directly contemplates that the federal government will be setting the laws with respect to immigration and so forth.

It doesn't mean states can't enforce their own laws to secure their border, by the way.

But what it does mean is that the federal government

has the authority and the duty to be able to uphold our immigration laws and to remove people.

And if the states aren't going to work with us on that, then what is left is for people of states like Texas to take the steps necessary to defend our people.
